10 TV Shows You Didn't Realise Were Set In The Same Universe

2. A Whole Bunch Of Nickelodeon Shows

A significant amount of the Nickelodeon live action shows are connected to one another in some obvious and some more subtle ways. This is sometimes referred to either as the Nick Verse or the Schneiderverse, named after creator of many of these shows, Dan Schneider.

First of all, there's an episode of Drake & Josh where you can hear an Amanda Show sketch playing in the background, so we can connect those two right off the bat, with the implication being that The Amanda Show exists as a TV show within the world of Drake and Josh. Do you think they ever wonder why two of the Amanda Show cast members look so much like them?

Then there's Penelope Taynt, Amanda's number one fan who also makes an appearance on All That, so it's likely All That is also a show in the Drake and Josh universe. Already the Schneiderverse has two levels. 

Characters from Drake and Josh appear in iCarly, Victorious and Unfabulous, so those all connect too. Stacey and Quinn from Zoey 101 appear in iCarly, so that's also in the Schneiderverse. Then you have to throw in the spinoffs, Sam & Cat and Gibby. 

This is all pretty complicated for a bunch of kids shows, huh? To recap, that's The Amanda Show, All That, Drake & Josh, Unfabulous, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat and Gibby all sharing this gigantic Nickverse. The only remaining question is when can audiences expect Schneiderverse: Infinity War?
